Grand Old Party?

The Grand Old Party, GOP, the Republicans are an old party, but no longer grand. In a recent survey, Congress has a favorable rating of 9%, exceeding only that of Fidel Castro at 5%. Why is that? I believe that it is mainly due to the obstructionism of the TEA Party dominated GOP led by Mitch McConnell and John Boehner. I think that it is time for a new name for the Party Of Obstruction, POO. Let’s start referring to them by that; we’ll call them the POO Party. Soon POO will meet in convention to nominate Mitt Romney as their candidate for president. Then Mitt will be the leader of the POO Party, at least until November.
